Volume-regulatory K+ efflux during concentrative uptake of alanine in isolated rat hepatocytes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Changes in cell volume and 42K+ efflux associated with concentrative alanine uptake were studied in isolated rat hepatocytes suspended in Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer. After addition of 10 mM-alanine, cellular water volume increased by 15% and the rate constant of 42K+ efflux by 250%. Alanine-induced 42K+ efflux was abolished by quinine and was strongly decreased when the cell-volume increase was counteracted by sucrose. The results suggest that K+ efflux during alanine uptake is implicated in a volume-regulatory response.

Energization of alanine transport in isolated rat hepatocytes. Electrogenic Na+-alanine co-transport leading to increased K+ permeability.
The mechanism of alanine transport across the cell membrane was studied at 37°C in isolated hepatocytes from 48-h fasted rats. Amino-oxyacetate, an alanine aminotransferase inhibitor, was used to separate the transport of alanine from its metabolism. The influx of ['4C]alanine was dependent on the extracellular Na' concentration. Conversely, addition of alanine increased the "Na' influx, and t...
متن کاملStriking species difference in the contribution of concentrative nucleoside transporter 2 to nucleoside uptake between mouse and rat hepatocytes.
Concentrative nucleoside transporter 2 (CNT2) (encoded by the SLC28A2 gene) transports various antiviral or antitumor purine nucleoside analogs to be involved in their pharmacokinetics and pharmacological actions. The results of our study showed that mouse hepatocytes hardly expressed CNT2 mRNA and no CNT2-dependent nucleoside uptake was observed, while rat hepatocytes exhibited high CNT2-depen...

Alkaloids of the aerial parts of chelidonium were extracted in the salt form, and their aqueous solutions were prepared in different concentrations. Rat hepatocytes were obtained by liver perfusion. The alkaloidal solutions were added to suspensions of hepatocytes in petri dishes and the mixtures were incubated. Two types of controls have been used in one type. no alkaloidal extract was ad...
متن کاملCarrier-mediated uptake of lucifer yellow in skate and rat hepatocytes: a fluid-phase marker revisited.
Uptake of lucifer yellow (LY), a fluorescent disulfonic acid anionic dye, was studied in isolated skate ( Raja erinacea) perfused livers and primary hepatocytes to evaluate its utility as a fluid-phase marker in these cells. However, our findings demonstrated that LY is transported across the plasma membrane of skate hepatocytes largely via carrier-mediated mechanisms. Isolated perfused skate l...
متن کاملIron Overload Induced Apoptotic Cell Death in Isolated Rat Hepatocytes Mediated by Reactive Oxygen Species
Isolated rat hepatocytes in culture were incubated with different concentrations of iron-sorbitol (50, 100, 150, and 200 µM) to assess the changes in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation leading to apoptotic hepatocyte cell death. The viability of hepatocytes was declined depending on the iron concentration. One hour incubation of the cells with 100 µM iron resulted in decreased...
